《B7 U1 Using language》课后反思
在本节课中，一开始利用多媒体辅助教学，观看残疾人的视频，调动了同学们的积极性，引入写建议信帮助残疾人,学生学习的兴趣和积极性很高。在老师的引导下学生能够积极主动参与到教学中来，学生对文章理解掌握较好。
注重了对学生的引领，充分发挥了学生的主体地位，学生自主学习、合作探究，让课堂充满了生机。
在教学中发现学生最大的问题在于用自己的语言灵活表达自己的建议，开口表达观点也是在平时教学中学生最薄弱的环节，这就要求教师要真正转变教学观念，要为学生提供尽可能多的机会来用英语思考和表达。本节课在这个问题上所用时间偏少，不能保证所有同学都能熟练运用所学，这也是下一步我需要解决的问题。
要迎接新课程的挑战，教师就要不断反思，并建立终身学习的理念，不断更新知识结构，发展专业能力与知识能力，以适应现代社会发展对英语课程的要求。? 总之，语言学习是一个循序渐进的过程，又是一个终身习得的过程，教师应成为终身学习的典范，本着“为孩子的一生负责”的教育理念和教学态度，求真务实，不断创新，以饱满精神状态和满腔的热情展示语言的魅力。这样我们才能够打造真正的英语教学的优质课堂。

Barrier-free accessHandles in toiletButtons within reach ……Dear president:
I’m glad to hear that the Paralympics will be held in your country . In order to offer convenience for the disabled , I make a list of several advice that I hope can be of use to the construction of the buildings.
First of all , the entrance to the gymnasium should be open and large enough for so many disabled people. What’s more , the steps should be reduced and there should be barrier-free access provided for the people using wheelchairs. What’s more important is that the toilet handles should be installed and they shouldn’t be built too high so that all the people of different height can reach them.
In short , if these advice can be applied, all the disabled will enjoy themselves in your country. I would appreciate it if you can consider my advice. That’s all . Thank you.
Yours,
Lihua
